"LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A local activist and columnist has been arrested in connection with firing a shot directly at a Louisville mayoral candidate.

On Monday night, Louisville Metro Police announced Quintez Brown, 21, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired shots into Craig Greenberg's campaign office on Monday morning. He is also facing four counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.

Police responded to the report of shots fired Monday morning at the Butchertown Market at 1201 Story Avenue, where Greenberg's campaign has an office.


Greenberg was not hit by a bullet, but a round hit his clothing, according to Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields.

According to an arrest citation, Brown fired several gunshots with a 9-millimeter Glock handgun toward Greenberg.

"All of us are blessed, and I'm blessed to be standing here today with you. Despite one bullet coming so close that it grazed my sweater and my shirt, no one was physically harmed and we are extraordinarily grateful for our safety," Greenberg said. "We are shaken, but safe."

Police say they took Brown into custody outside of Butchertown Market. Shields said his motive remains under investigation and it appears that he acted alone.

Brown, who is currently running as a independent candidate for Louisville Metro Council District 5, went missing for 11 days last summer.

When Brown was found last summer, no further information was released from police.

"We are asking for privacy and would appreciate everyone's patience and support while we tend to the most immediate need, which is Quintez's physical, mental and spiritual health," the statement from Cecilia Brown and Jacobe Daughterty said in July 2021.

Brown, who has been active with Black Lives Matter Louisville and the University of Louisville's Youth Violence Prevention Research Center, spoke to WDRB News in June of 2020 after demonstrating in downtown Louisville daily to voice his frustrations with how black people have been policed throughout the country.

A report by The Courier Journal in 2021 said he worked as an intern for the newspaper and has been a frequent contributor to the outlet's opinion section.


He also spoke out in 2019 about his discomfort with armed police serving as school resource officers in Jefferson County Public Schools."

Damn Quintez you is a whole fool

it was just a prank bruh

Dude will be back on the streets within a month and continue being a BLM hero

Oops…. A wild quintez appears

The Left is fuking retarded when it comes to guns. Most gun owners will never give up their tools of protection regardless of what laws are passed. Crime is getting out of control and they really think people will give them up? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Defiant Ls" documents so much hypocrisy and gaslighting from the Neo-Commies, it's absolutely crazy how disingenuous and insufferable they are.
But always remember,THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL TACTIC. Which is why you just mock them rather than actually engage. Nothing they do is in good faith.

Read "Rules for Radicals" and it's a lot of what these retarded ****gits do.
Watch some Westboro Baptist Church footage, they also do similar tactics to WBC.This was in the '70s, I believe. It has gotten worse every single year since then. But you can clearly see how this ideology syncs right up with SJWs / woke / cultural Marxists / neo-commies / alt-left / antifa / BLM / whatever the fuk you want to call them.

lol

I want people to give up their guns! How do I do that? I know, I'll shoot someone to prove guns aren't safe!

I'm really really curious what happened. Started digging around on this dude, and he was balls deep in advocating for increasing programs for at risk youth, very community oriented, etc... but was it all a charade, playing the long con, and his true self just couldn't be suppressed?

The left has been consistently proven to be utterly hypocritical and undeniably the problem.

The dems are retarded. The BLM riots they endorsed resulted in a record number of liberals buying guns. They shot themselves in the foot on gun control when they decided to double down on BLM.

There was a black kid recently who shot up his school and got released with no charges.

Black privilege.

Can't be going around shooting people. If guilty then lock him up

More importantly on this subject...... Does BLM now refer to any black man/woman who is politically conscious, but opposes the views of the fat right misc mob?
